Morebeer's Pliny the Elder

[htims05]

Anyone done this kit BIAB? I have it on order, but wondered if anyone wanted to give me any pointers or specifics that the instructions don't call out?

I've had the beer, but it was made by a friend who does not do BIAB. Good beer.

Someone bought the kit and brewed it last month. You may want to ask him to follow up on how it turned out.

I brewed this about 1 month ago and It's now on tap

Brewed biab. I did the dry hop right in the keg instead of the fermenter

Just follow the instructions and your good to go

If you like hoppy beer then this will be your friend

I didn't want to dry hop in the keg - less cleaning later, I've seen dry hop clog the dip tubes, etc. Figured I'd just throw it in a sock for the last 7 days.

My Plan look OK - plan is on the linked thread above from Carolina_Matt

It's your beer. So make it the way that makes you happy or hoppy as it were

I personally would not use a sock but I really like the HOP Bags from wilserbrewer

Just kegged my MoreBeer Pliny the Elder BIAB and it is outstanding!!!
I hit my target SP at 1.074 and the ABV calculates by hydrometer to a 9.1%. I used 2 packs of Safale 05 in 6 gallons.
Dry Hopped in a hop bag on day 8 and kegged on day 16 after a cold crash.
I followed MoreBeer recipe pretty closely
Great flavor before force carbonation and I plan to pour my first pint for Thanksgiving. Giving thanks for BEER
